Episode 9: Black Maternal Health - Angie’s Story

Family Health by Mini First Aid

In this episode, sponsored by Savlon Scar Prevention Gel, Kate talks to Nurse Angie Jay. Angie is about to give birth to twins, and as a black woman she is passionate about shining a light on the stark difference in pregnancy related deaths between black and white parents. Join Kate and Angie for this raw & honest discussion and listen to Kate and Angie’s plans for diversity in postnatal education.

Angie is a paediatric trained nurse with experience of working at Great Ormond Street as a theatre nurse, in children’s A&E, and in her current role as a school and safeguarding nurse visiting schools to support children and their health needs. Angie is a Mini First Aid trainer and trains people internally, to make sure there is an inclusive mindset across the organisation. She has appeared on a number of programmes, including BBC 1Extra, talking all things sexual health with Richie Brave.
